The student plan costs $4.99 a month, which is the same price you’ll find on Spotify, though it’s worth pointing out that the student discount only lasts 12 months on Spotify. As for Apple Music, service itself is the same as any other subscription, and the discounted rate applies for four years after you sign up. You’ll need to verify your enrollment status when you sign up (though you can always work around that a little bit). Right now, the discount’s available for students in the U.S., U.K., Germany, Denmark, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. The option to enroll is rolling out throughout the day, so keep an eye on it if it’s not available in your region right now. Once it is, you can switch over to the education pricing in your iCloud subscription settings.
